Undisputed by who?
Seriously...
My needs haven't changed and migrating to W7 is going to take time (and effort) which I simply do not have available at present.

Err, not true actually. Kobo updated firmwares will undoubtedly start needing updates to the device interface, which would require updating calibre. Still possible by patching the source (by hand) even for 1.48, and I believe there was just an update (to go with the H2O) which requires enabling the experimental-support-unsupported-firmware option but works just fine.

That doesn't surprise me. I'm probably going to end up setting up a dev-env and doing my own builds simply because it's quicker and easier than the migration.
